'The University of Cambridge has announced it has acquired and for the first time unsealed Levy’s personal archive, including letters, draft manuscripts, photographs and diary entries. It is expected the material will inform a wealth of new scholarship on her life, work and mental health.' 1/2

Omg, this reply in the thread bashing the Department of War seal made me LOL in bed so hard I almost woke my partner up. That’s ok, tho; he sent me the link in the first place.

The Fiisto Coucha is the third stike for me and KickStarter. After backing MANY initiatives over the years, I’m seeing the reliability of the projects just go off the fucking rails and Kickstarter just doesn’t care. (1/2)

There's never a better time than NOW to get involved. (And that's only because I don't have a Time Machine to go back and unfuck this timeline.) #resist #aclu act.aclu.org/a/novemberac...

“Their business model is screen time, not life time.” — Tristan Harris speaking about Google, in Johan Hari’s book, “Stolen Focus.” #stolenfocus Screen addiction isn’t (just) about a lack of discipline or personal failing. It is by design. I’m seeking a balanced middle path for myself. #itshard

On a plane, I tend to choose quirky films. Why not, I’m killing time. This one was painfully poignant, sweetly funny, and something I’d recommend if you like funny quirky movies about beautiful, damaged people. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bal...

I’ve been using Ollie sleep gummies about 50% of the time for a month. My sleep IS much improved, but I have frequent, horrible nightmares. Come to find out any sleep they can “cause“ nightmares because it increases the depth and amount of REM sleep you get. #FML #nightmares #perimenopause

What he said: 💯 🎯

As he reached for a piece of candy before the kids arrived, I said,” Hey, you gotta say ‘trick or treat!’” He did me one better. Walked upstairs, came down with some hangers and quickly turned into a dashing vampire. @daviddlevine.com

Yes!🐶😻

OMG, I love this idea so much. So adorbes.

Hmmm. Anyone else thinking of making this shift, or have done so? Your thoughts? www.wired.com/review/proto...

Is @Kickstarter just scam central now? Backed a goofy product—10 months late, no real updates, now they want double shipping. Asked for a refund. Crickets. But they keep asking for more cash.

Damn.

This is integrity and leadership. Thank you, Mr. Hagmaier, and may what drives you spread and propogate to all who are touched by you.

Well, ima gonna do it: going to raw dog the world with my iPhone 16 Pro. Off comes the case. AppleCare on board, after reading multiple articles I carried it around, and really like it all nakey. As someone who drops her phone at least once a week, let’s see how this goes. ;) #iphone #nakedphone

A good article about Foundation; a show I’m just barely smart enough to watch. 🤣 Indeed, it’s going hard on concepts so relevant to today; and it was written by Asimov in *1951*. *snort* Are we even remotely as special as we think we are? www.wired.com/story/lee-pa...

COMIC: Doggy E-mail

Ten-year-old chess prodigy Bodhana Sivanandan made history at the 2025 British Chess Championship by becoming the youngest girl ever to defeat a grandmaster and to earn the Woman International Master (WIM) title.

I heard this described by someone in a reel as “baseball level trolling.“ This is beautiful. #pride www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/oriol...

Now here’s a class act.

Happy 50th birthday, Jaws.

I tried it so you don’t have to. Don’t. 🙂‍↔️ Gross. 🤢 Nope. 👎 #reece’s

After finding this out, I wrote to Goulet pens. What I wrote to them, and the response will be in thread 🧵

Oopsie.

Ewww. 😆

Yes. Large scale internet outage. (Down Detector is your friend.) Someone fat finger a DNS table? Domestic terrorism strike? Start of WW3 with nukes? Only time will tell. Fuck if, it’s really nice outside. Go outside, or grab a book and chill. (It’s most likely #1.)

A very good question. “The nearly 5,000 soldiers in Los Angeles detained one man, briefly. Was that worth $134 million and a constitutional crisis?” theintercept.com/2025/06/16/l...

The Svalbard Seed Vault is beautiful and brutal design, a post apocalyptic wet dream. IF it survives. In 2017, the entrance flooded due to permafrost melt. The builders never imagined permafrost melt. “Humans are not very good at anticipating change...”Naomi Oreskes, historian of science at Harvard.

Lovely results. Raspberry infused vodka, just throw them together, let them sit for two weeks, shake it up now and then, then filter right back into a funnel into the original bottle. #booze #fruit #raspberry

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

Don’t forget to make these men proud and get into some good trouble. #goodtrouble

Doug is back! Great flag and service from Elmer’s Flag and Banner in #pdx. #cascadia

It’s not funny because it’s true

Federal ICE agents are deliberately shooting at and hitting reporters with absolutely no justifiable cause. They are using non-lethal rounds (which can in fact be lethal). There is no reason to be using non-lethal pepper spray, gas, bullets, boots etc. on reporters on scene reporting the news.

I feel it’s only been recently that I realized how produced and slick most YouTube content creators’ videos are.

Funny how ICE who is so allegedly fighting undocumented gang members has only managed to round up normal working class people, traumatize children, and fight US citizens in the streets.

Fml. Ya know what makes me feel #old as fuck? I’m at a show, feel my phone buzz and think it’s a hottie texting me. No. It’s a medication reminder. 😂

I am so happy with the maturing plantings in my front beds. This is their third year! #gardening #pnw

“What’s happening tonight at Trump’s golf course is, in effect, putting a ‘for sale’ sign on the White House. It's auctioning off access,” claimed Democrat senator Richard Blumenthal on Thursday morning at a press conference hosted by nonprofit Accountable.US.” Unprecedented times, indeed.

Yummyness is coming in 14 days… #raspberry #vodka

Can’t believe how fucking stupid these people are.
